The candidates of five opposition political parties who had qualified for the run-offs had unanimously declared their unwillingness to participate.
Claiming that the October 31 parliamentary elections were falsified they demand new elections be held under the new CEC leadership.
Despite their boycott, opposition continues to hold negotiations with the ruling party under the foreign ambassadors' mediation aimed to reach a consensus over the current political crisis.
However, while the opposition demands new parliamentary elections as their ultimate goal, the ruling party claims no repeat elections are on agenda.
All 17 majoritarian candidates of the ruling Georgian Dream party have won the run-off elections based on the preliminary results released by the Central Election Commission (CEC). As of now, the results from 1,043 polling stations have been counted, which is 52% of the total number of polling stations that were open for the second round of parliamentary elections today.
A total of 562,664 people (26.29% of eligible voters) have cast ballots in the second round of Georgian parliamentary elections as of 8 p.m. today. The Central Election Commission (CEC) spokesperson Natia Ioseliani has recently announced that the election run-offs were held in 'peaceful environment' and no 'substantial violations' have been reported.
The Georgian Young Lawyers Association (GYLA) and International Society for Fair Elections and Democracy (ISFED) have reported election violations in a number of majoritarian constituencies during the second round of parliamentary elections in Georgia.
Opposition politicians - who have qualified for today’s run offs - call on their supporters not to head to polling stations today claiming the October 31 parliamentary elections were falsified. The opposition has unanimously declared their unwillingness to participate in the second round of the elections even though their names remain on the majoritarian ballot papers per law.
“I deeply regret the unsubstantiated attacks by certain political representatives in Georgia on the personal integrity of the Chairman of the delegation of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) that observed elections here”, PACE President Rik Daems has announced.
Noting that the European Union ‘strongly supports democratic processes and the respect for legal frameworks’ the EU delegation said ‘Georgia needs a functioning parliament as the central forum for political debate, with all parties working together to advance reforms, in line with our mutual commitments under the Association Agreement’.
"These elections have resulted in a diverse parliament where the ruling majority will face a strong opposition that can ensure proper parliamentary oversight. The only appropriate forum for this, as well as for debating and challenging diverging political views, is the parliament. For the sake of Georgia’s democratic consolidation, we therefore call on all parties to accept the mandates they won in these elections and enter into the new parliament,” said the co-rapporteurs.
The Central Election Commission convened a session earlier today to summarise the final results of Georgia’s parliamentary elections. Having summed up the election results at today’s session, the CEC will now send the document to the parliament of Georgia, which will hold the first session of the tenth convocation within ten days.
The ruling Georgian Dream (GD) party has criticised interim election reports of Transparency International Georgia (TI Georgia), Georgian Young Lawyers’ Association (GYLA) and International Society for Fair Elections and Democracy (ISFED) ahead of the October 2 municipal elections.
